I'm Ben Myceles from the Midas Touch Network. Special Counsel Jack Smith has been able to obtain some blockbuster evidence against Donald Trump in connection with his criminal investigation into Trump's theft of thousands of government records which Donald Trump concealed at Mar-a-Lago.

You'll recall that special counsel Jack Smith has two major criminal investigations before two separate criminal grand juries in Washington DC federal court taking place right now against Donald Trump.

One involving Donald Trump's election interference is conduct relating to the insurrection and leading up to the insurrection.

And then the other criminal investigation relating to Trump's theft of government records including sensitive compartment and information and top secret records.

And so this new report comes from Washington Post that discusses some of this evidence that special counsel Jack Smith has been able to gather.

And there's really seven major takeaways that I want to discuss and really seven categories of evidence if you will that special counsel Jack Smith has gathered that we're learning about that makes an obstruction of justice case against Donald Trump see more and more likely by the day.

And I'll explain to you the obstruction of justice statute and a little bit in this video. But let's talk about these seven categories first.

It's being reported that special counsel Jack Smith has gathered evidence showing that Donald Trump directed people to move boxes from the storage room in Mar-a-Lago to other locations after the subpoena was issued by one of the criminal grand juries in Washington DC.

The subpoenas were issued in May of 2022. You'll recall that the search warrant was eventually executed at Mar-a-Lago on August 8th of 2022.

And following receipt of the subpoenas evidence suggests Donald Trump directed people to move those boxes that Donald Trump specifically did that.

The next category of evidence number two is that Donald Trump himself specifically looked through boxes following the receipt of the subpoena that was issued from the criminal grand jury.

And he personally went through the boxes cherry picking the documents that he wanted to keep and trying to give other documents back to Evan Corcoran and Christina Bob because you'll recall that on or around June 3rd of 2022.

Evan Corcoran Christina Bob had a meeting with the top counterintelligence official at the Department of Justice in response to the May 2022 subpoena said here we have this red weld folder here is all of the documents that we've been able to locate we've conducted a diligent search and based upon the diligent search.

There are no other documents at Mar-a-Lago of course we know that to be false further Christina Bob and Corcoran to some extent sign this attestation are both were involved in this attestation essentially under penalty of purgey retelling the Department of Justice that the contents of that red weld folder contained all the remaining classified records and top secret records which was completely and utterly false.

And again now we are learning and the evidence that special counsel Jack Smith has seen to have gathered suggests that leading up to that date leading up to that June 3rd date Donald Trump had basically clawed back the documents he wanted and then there was like 37 documents that were turned over on June 3rd but all those other documents were kept at Mar-a-Lago and Trump himself was responsible for that.

Another category of evidence comes from one of Donald Trump's assistants her name is Molly Michael and she was in a she worked for Donald Trump at the White House she served as an assistant to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago she left her job about a year ago at Mar-a-Lago and while she was there though she kept basically a daily log about what was going down at Mar-a-Lago who was coming in who was leaving Donald Trump's schedule so that had been a very

very long time. And as provided a treasure trove of information to special counsel Jack Smith the fourth category of evidence that special counsel Jack Smith seems to have is that Donald Trump directly directed others to lie to the National Archives and to live to the Department of Justice throughout 2022 just continually telling them just lie to the DOJ lie to the National Archives and that was a very long time.

I just tell them that we returned everything when Donald Trump knew that to be false and his advisors were very concerned about his requests and demands that day lie.

To that point the fifth category of evidence that special counsel Jack Smith now has relating to his obstruction of justice charges potential obstruction of justice charges against Donald Trump includes evidence that Donald Trump continuously ignored requests from his advisors who knew that he was committing a crime by concealing these government records

and Donald Trump would ignore all of these requests by his advisors when they would say you're breaking the law you need to turn this over Donald Trump would ignore those requests so special counsel Jack Smith now has information about that according to very credible reports.

Another category the sixth category Donald Trump would ask his advisors and ask his lawyers whether what he was doing was illegal and the lawyers would tell him yes you are committing a crime obviously that would go to the intent element but Donald Trump ultimately didn't care.

And then number seven which is perhaps what I think is the kind of most fascinating I mean all of this has been incredibly incredibly fascinating but the seventh category of evidence that special counsel Jack Smith has regarding Trump's potential obstruction of justice is that we're learning that Jack Smith has been questioning a lot of people about whether Donald Trump was showing these classified records,
